PASTANGOS ĮSTEIGTI VILNIAUS UNIVERSITETĄ (1565-1570)

įstaigų, nei tinkamų kunigų, o nedaugelis ten dirbančiųjų yra atkeliavę

iš Lenkijos, savo tėvynėje buvę beverčiai ir nei išsilavinę, nei moraliai

stiprūs. 12 Todėl nuncijus prašo popiežiaus sekretoriaus kardinolo Boromiejaus

skubiai paraginti tėvą Laynezą priimtį šią iniciatyvą ir pasiųsti

gerus profesorius bei pamokslininkus, nes „ši kolegija [taip jis ją

pavadino - P. R.] yra laikoma būsimu universitetu visai Lietuvai". 13

Kuomet laiškas maždaug po keturių savaičių pasiekė Romą, popiežiaus

kurija iškart informavo jėzuitų generalinį vikarą t. Pranciškų Borgiją

(t. Diego Laynezas 1565 m. sausio 19 d. mirė). Vasario 18 d. jau buvo

nutarta, 14 popiežiui skubiai prašant, priimti pasiūlymą Vilniuje įsteigti

pilnutinę kolegiją su visais fakultetais, nors patys jėzuitai būtų linkę

atidėti sprendimą iki naujo generalinio vyresniojo rinkimų, kurie turėjo

įvykti birželio pabaigoje. 15 Tačiau popiežius ir kardinolas Boromie-

12 „il che succedendo potrà senza dubbio essere di grande aiuto a tutto quel

paese, il quale non ha nè lettere, nè preti, se non tolti di Polonia, et vi vanno

solamente coloro, che non hanno qui recapito, persone per lo più senza dottrina

et senza costumi...“, ten pat.

13 „V(ostra) S(ignoria) Illustrissima essorti il P. Laynes ad accettar quest’impresa,

et a provedere di buoni lettori et predicatori, perchè quel collegio sarà

come una università di tutta la Lithuania“, ten pat.

14 „Il re di Polonia pare si volti a voler abbracciar la Compagnia nostra da

serio, et per adesso si [ha] accettato l’assumpto de mandare un collegio intiero

in Vilna de tutte le facultà. V(ostra) R(everentia), che è stato lì, ci scriva che

gliene pare. Et non conviene publicar questa cosa, perché, come ci scrive il

nuncio, prima conviene fare et poi dire, acciò sapendolo alcuni heretici, che

stanno intorno il re, non si sforzino ad impedirlo. Voi dare un luogo suo grande

che tiene in Vilna et murato. Non so se V(ostra) R(everentia) l’haverà visto,

o se si ricorderà di quello", Borgija - Salmeronui (Roma, 1565 vasario 18),

Epislulae P. Alphonsi Salmeronis, II (= MHSI, XXXII), p. 7.

15 „Et perché l’Ill.mo Borromeo non ci dette tempo d’aspettare la elettione

del nostro generale (qual sera piacendo a Iddio verso la fine del mese di Giugno),

scrivevo che anche serveriamo al serenissimo re quanto al collegio di Vilna.

.Borgija - Commendonei (Roma, 1565 gegužės 25), Sanctus Franciscus

Borgia, III (= MHSI, XXXV), Matriti 1908, p. 806. - „7. .. .Et in primis Vilnae

(quae caput est Lithuaniae) collegium plenum, in quo studiorum esset universitas,

suis expensis [rex] erigere, aedificiis et redditibus assignatis, volebat et

suum nobis desiderium per nuncii litteras exponi. Cum autem summus pontifex

regi satisfaciendum censeret, suscepta est provincia: et si res necessariae
